Tool Registration (mcp.ts) + +- Added support for parsing and storing `outputSchema` when registering tools +- Updated the `tool()` method to handle outputSchema parameter in various overload combinations +- Added new overloads to support tools with outputSchema: + ```typescript + tool( + name: string, + paramsSchema: Args, + outputSchema: Tool["outputSchema"], + cb: ToolCallback, + ): RegisteredTool; + ``` + +#### 2. Tool Listing + +- Modified `ListToolsResult` handler to include outputSchema in tool definitions +- Only includes outputSchema in the response if it's defined for the tool + +#### 3. Tool Execution + +- Updated `CallToolRequest` handler to validate structured content based on outputSchema +- Added automatic backward compatibility: + - If a tool has outputSchema and returns `structuredContent` but no `content`, the server automatically generates a text representation + - This ensures compatibility with clients that don't support structured content +- Added validation to ensure: + - Tools with outputSchema must return structuredContent (unless error) + - Tools without outputSchema must not return structuredContent + - Tools without outputSchema must return content + +#### 4. Backward Compatibility + +The implementation maintains full backward compatibility: +- Tools without outputSchema continue to work as before +- Tools with outputSchema can optionally provide both `structuredContent` and `content` +- If only `structuredContent` is provided, `content` is auto-generated as JSON + +### Client-Side Changes + +#### 1. Schema Caching and Validation (index.ts) + +- Added `_cachedTools` and `_cachedToolOutputSchemas` maps to cache tool definitions and their parsed Zod schemas +- The client converts JSON Schema to Zod schema using the `json-schema-to-zod` library for runtime validation +- Added dependency: `json-schema-to-zod` for converting JSON schemas to Zod schemas + +#### 2. Tool Listing + +- Modified `listTools` to parse and cache output schemas: + - When a tool has an outputSchema, the client converts it to a Zod schema + - Schemas are cached for validation during tool calls + - Handles errors gracefully with warning logs if schema parsing fails + +#### 3. Tool Execution + +- Enhanced `callTool` method with comprehensive validation: + - Tools with outputSchema must return `structuredContent` (validates this requirement) + - Tools without outputSchema must not return `structuredContent` + - Validates structured content against the cached Zod schema + - Provides detailed error messages when validation fails + +#### 4. Error Handling + +The client throws `McpError` with appropriate error codes: +- `ErrorCode.InvalidRequest` when required structured content is missing or unexpected +- `ErrorCode.InvalidParams` when structured content doesn't match the schema + +### Testing + +#### Server Tests + +Added comprehensive test suite (`mcp-outputschema.test.ts`) covering: +- Tool registration with outputSchema +- ListToolsResult including outputSchema +- Tool execution with structured content +- Automatic backward compatibility behavior +- Error cases and validation + +#### Client Tests + +Added tests in `index.test.ts` covering: +- Validation of structured content against output schemas +- Error handling when structured content doesn't match schema +- Error handling when tools with outputSchema don't return structured content +- Error handling when tools without outputSchema return structured content +- Complex JSON schema validation including nested objects, arrays, and strict mode +- Validation of additional properties when `additionalProperties: false` + +### Examples + +Created two example servers: +1. `outputSchema.ts` - Using the low-level Server API +2. `mcpServerOutputSchema.ts` - Using the high-level McpServer API + +These examples demonstrate: +- Tools with structured output (weather data, CSV processing, BMI calculation) +- Tools that return both structured and readable content +- Traditional tools without outputSchema for comparison + +## API Usage + +### Registering a tool with outputSchema: + +```typescript +server.tool( + "calculate_bmi", + "Calculate BMI given height and weight", + { + height_cm: z.number(), + weight_kg: z.number() + }, + { + type: "object", + properties: { + bmi: { type: "number" }, + category: { type: "string" } + }, + required: ["bmi", "category"] + }, + async ({ height_cm, weight_kg }) => { + // Calculate BMI... + return { + structuredContent: { + bmi: calculatedBmi, + category: bmiCategory + } + };
